Analysis of Wilson

“Pulls up for a mid range jump shot”? I haven’t seen it. My impressions are that when Will puts it on the floor, he is soing all the way to the basket, no matter who is front of him. I would love him to develop a pull-up.

Dude makes me cringe when he starts channeling his inner Allan Houston. To me he still shoots like that kid at the park growing up who thought he had a jumpshot, but really had no business shooting the rock that often…especially from three.

agree with that assessment in pretty much it’s entirety ….for those who think he cant improve his mid range game or develop a solid 3 point shot is wrong..he has touch…he shows it around the rim not when he just dunking because he learned to put “english” on his lay-ups(similar to Ice-Man) but most importantly he shoots and improves on his free throw percentage….guys who shoot above 80% from the line have/WILL jump shooting qualities…example would be lee(my source)……….

I think his main issue is lack of a go to move when he drives, he usually gets a lil out of control with that spin move he does. He needs get more under control and be able to improvise better when he’s driving to the hole.

I think his jump shot is fine, may just need to extend his range. Look at guys like Pippin, Dell Curry, their feet never pointed towards the basket, which coaches try to teach you early….Chandler has a very sweet shot, and I believe is one of the better mid-range shooters in the game….

Agree very much with that assessment Tommy.

Especially the part about Wilson being a good guy…He seems like a great teammate.

My thing with him is that he really has to either start gettting to the line more or being able to hit 3pters consistently. He already has all the skills on defense, a good head on his shoulders, and one of the better mid-range games I’ve seen from a young guy. He just needs to do one of those 2 things to reach the next level imo.

Tommy I was good with everything u said up until “If I were him though I’d bring it extra hard in camp because I know Landry Fields will.” now i know guys on the blog undervalue chandler’s talents but i think its getting a lil too ridiculous. we r talking bout a 15ppg 6rebounds baller who has improved his game every year. it is just crazy to even think laundry fields will compete with chandler for a spot on this team…it is jus not happening and a lil laughable.

I do have a question for all those who want chandler out of NY ASAP tho: who on this team will guard the lebrons and wades when we play them?? regardless of ppl’s feelings towards this dude, he is an integral part of this team and DW knows this and the reason why chandler is still here.

his midrange is one of the best parts of his game…

from three hes got nothing though

tried to tell them….but that was a great post(you calling him out on fields is a prime example of how dudes in some ways devalue ILL WILL..I was going to let that go but I’m glad someone else called him/others out on things like that)…even if dudes think gallo is the next Bernard King wouldn’t it be a better bet to have a guy who can try to defend the better wing players on the opposing teams to spare gallo and still drop 16+ and grab 5+ boards and etc etc….yo

i hope by “good head on his shoulders” you mean he doesnt do anything crazy or overly stupid off court. He is one of the top fifteen dumbest nba players on the court

NEGATIVE!!!!!! He has none!

I would trade in a heartbeat for RUdy, but they don’t want him.. If he’s so good why wouldn’t they want to do that trade. He is an average player.
Good, but really average!

Exactly….Are we the only ones that have noticed when Will shoots inside the arc it goes in more than half of the time?

he has a lot of work to do to become the player some think he is today.

so basically if he
learns to make better decisions with the ball
corrects his jump shooting flaws
learns to go left
develop more offensive moves
improve his ball handling
learn to guard wing players man up
can pass more

he can be a good shooting guard.. WOW>

didnt they both drop 40 plus on Chandler?

if gallo was the next bernard king than it wouldnt be a better bet to do that at all you sound dumb. Get off will’s d**k please you sound dumb every time you post. Its true theres no chance fields gets the spot over chandler that would make no sense at all, but thats because hes a second round rookie nobody had ever heard of coming out of the draft. Wilson is grossly OVERrated by you and many others on this site. Hes not getting any better than he was last year, and its time for people to accept him for what he is. Hel never be a starter on a championship caliber squad unless its a ridiculous team like the heat or something. Hes way too dumb, and he doesnt excel at one individual thing which makes him great for 25 minutes a night but hes no exceptional in any way. Please just come to grips with the fact that your racist and if gallo was black and will white we all know who youd like better. Your just dumb

nothing crazy off the court?

nah… WHOOPS! must have fergot about that recent little problem.

yeah let me tell you as soon as his iq spikes by about 50 points, hel be a great player for sure. Everybody here needs to get real. Thank you for reminding people he has MANY things he has to “work on” to be who they for some reason expect

You think LeBron and Wade give a sh*t that Wilson Chandler is guarding them?! LOL. I mean the kid is solid but let’s get a grip here people, he’s not Ron Artest or anything.

If he grew four inches he could be a great center! LMAO

There’s a difference between having a mid-range jumper (he does) and having the brains/ability to pull up and make the decision to shoot a short jumper once you’ve started a drive (he doesn’t). Folks are confusing this. I never said he doesn’t have a short jumper off a catch — I said he doesn’t pull up enough off the dribble drive. When he puts his head down HE COULD GO ALL THE WAY.

Will is the most overrated Knick after Gallo. He has a low baskeball IQ and he’s a streak shooter and at times you don’t even know he’s on the floor. He’s a backup at best and should be traded in the right deal.

first off, im sure half of the people on here smoke, i personally dont care if wilson did (even though he passed his drug test after the arrest thus proving he hadnt even smoked for the past month). Secondly, he never does truely bonehead stuff, never comes out and says bad things ab the organization, never complains. Hes good in that sense. But on court… hes retarded.

except that gallo has the POTENTIAL to be great, even if he isnt yet. Wilson will never be anything more than average. Backup at best is a bit of strech, he could make a starting rotation on alot of teams.

Unless he gets traded before the season starts, this is Chandler’s last season with the Knicks.

for sure knick fans need to start letting go of him hes a goner

Wilson Chandler’s midrange jumpshot is excellent. Will’s actually a more consistent jumpshooter than Gallo.

But he can’t improvise and make plays with the ball in his hands. He’s clearly a poor ball-handler and he has poor offensive “instincts”. He can’t be effective if there’s no ball movement because he can’t create his own shot or make plays for his teammates. That’s why he has never been a difference-maker for the Knicks thus far (aside from his game-winning block on Josh Smith). I love Wilson but his upside is still a huge question mark in my opinion.

Will is a great midrange jumpshooter.

Yeah Wilson’s really a good guy I love him.

But he needs to be more aggressive on the court.

He’s a small forward, period. He can’t dribble with his back to his man and run plays like a 2-guard. He’s a receiver, shooter and slasher. His game reminds me of James Worthy’s. If Felton can feed him when they are running he will be great.

No, he’s a good midrange jumpshooter. Bernard King (before his right knee blew out) was a great midrange jumpshooter.

To me, Chandler reminds me of the perfect San Antonio Spur – he does a lot of little things that can help teams without demanding the ball in his hands or needing plays run for him.

One of his glaring flaws is he doesn’t have go-to moves in the lane. He has no problem finding the lane, and he is great a finishing around the basket, but he doesn’t have a great move to get around defenders and can’t go left.

To me, this just means Will is never gonna be the go to guy on the team, he’s never going to be asked to score a bunch of points, but he can still be a contributor on defense and the boards, while still making teams pay for leaving him open.

If the lane is open, Chandler will drive, if there is no one in his face, he can hit it, but in any other situation he should just keep the ball flowing, and with Amare, Gallo, Felton, and eventually one other scorer, he shouldn’t be asked to do too much.

That being said, I have to agree with everyone about the Landry Fields comment – I don’t think he’s losing any playing time, and I’m assuming the comment was implying that Fields’ exposure would make Chandler expendable in a trade.

Yea but Wil has to work on getting to the line a lot more when driving to the basket in order for that FT% to have that much of an impact.

Well that just seems a bit out of line. No offense, but it’s hard for you to tell someone to get off a player’s d*ck when your name is “All Hail Gallo”…just saying.

and to be honest, i think gallo is the better perimeter defender, and chandler is a better post defender…thus the reason why Gallo was guarding Melo in that game they keep replaying on MSG, and not Will.

Except that James Worthy was a lot better.

man, the moderation thing can be annoying.

All I was saying was what Mucha said. Good teammate and good player.

The thing this summer just wasn’t smart thinking on his part, but it doesn’t make me think less of him or anything.

Thing about that shot technique, is it gives you options for the drive. If you spot up both feet, all you can do is shoot-that’s it. But if you have one foot forward, you can shoot, drive, or spin. it does hurt on 3s though, bc/ you need to use more arm strength than lower body.

?

“To me, Chandler reminds me of the perfect San Antonio Spur”

Sean Elliott without the 3-point shot?

Obviously.

Ok he’s a good midrange jumpshooter

i wouldn’t say nothing, but I did mention “NEEDS TO EXTEND HIS RANGE” which will come when he gets his core and upper body stronger, which I’ve heard he has….

so we shall see, kid is still only 23 the same age as rookie Andy Rautins, soo be easy, still has a lot of room to grow…

i think his ceiling is Joe Johnson, which isn’t a badd ceiling at all, may never be our go to guy, but being the 2nd or 3rd option behind amare and gallo isn’t to shabby…imho…

I took it as bring your A game and be ready or else you will look bad because there is a hungry rookie who wants your spot. Just competitiveness which is good…

good catch fauci…lol.

Look at Anyone in the NBA none of their feet point towards the basket.

uhhh joe johnson is the ultimate celing id give him a slightly less generous ceiling than that. And range isnt about strength its about form and touch, along with knowing when to launch it and when not to. Wilson doesnt have the outside touch, and hes dumb. Hel never develop an outside shot

im not going around talking nonstop about how gallo is gonna be the next dirk. I dont make every post about how great he is or how everyone hates on him for no reason. Yo Son only ever talks about how wilson is TOP 25 DEAD OR ALIVE blah blah blah. Ive never been obnoxious about gallo nor have i been ignorantly blindly retarded about him. Hes my favorite knick but i respect his limitations and dont think hes god as some people suddenly see wilson. Theres a reason nobody wants to give up any real talent for him people, open your eyes. Hes an average rotational contributor and thats his ceiling right there.

All Wilson has to do is improve is ball handling, when you can put it on the floor effectively your game goes to another level. D wade was a awful shooter when he came into the league, he’s improved but he’s still a bad shooter but he can get to the rack because of his ball handling same goes for LBJ who can’t shoot a lick.

http://espn.go.com/blog/new-york/knicks/post/_/id/231/the-knicks-get-a-lottery-pick-in-randolph

Check out good article about AR.

Shooting doesn’t mean Sh*T

BALL HANDLING!!!!

IS ALL THAT MATTERS

Speaking of which I’m watching Fiba basketball right now. And my favorite team (a side from usa) is (I’m joking folks) the team MyCable-Television. lol jkin yall Maccabi Tel Aviv. lol. Thats how I use to say it.

idk I found it funny because my sister still calls that team myCable-Television lol

Hes only 23?

yea the moderation is getting annoying

they should have left the site the way it was

All Hail Gallo,

You and the rest of the guys on this post saying unkind words regarding Will’s basketball IQ is way out line when you start calling the man “Dumb”. Dumb equals to being ignorant. I don’t want to start calling you names, but we all have been there before. So ease up!

What are you Stupid or what? You are the dumba** if you can’t see growth in Will’s game. The person you calling dumb is getting paid “dumbsh*t! Now quit it stupid! Sorry for calling you that even though you aren’t bright as well.

MJ was a great mid-range shooter. Will does nothing great, thats why his trade value is garbage.

All Hail Garbage Mouth,

Will probably makes more money than your entire family! But he’s the dumb one huh?

Your boy “Ill Will” needs a handle my SON. He cant pass well because he isn’t comfortable handling the rock (especially in traffic) hence his many cough ups when trying to dribble the ball on the perimeter or trying any sort of move aside from his pet 1-2 stride for a layup…which goes back to why he’s not viewed as a capable two guard thus far.

If he had a more polished handle, he could also get into his shot much more comfortably and avoid being so off balance when he tries to shoot…especially off the dribble.

Aside from that and the fact he has no swagger in his game whatsoever, I think he can still become a very nice player.

YO SON! lend your boy Will some of your SWAGG son, he needs it lol

( gas face )

“and to be honest, i think gallo is the better perimeter defender, and chandler is a better post defender…thus the reason why Gallo was guarding Melo in that game they keep replaying on MSG, and not Will.”

Or it could have been because Will wasn’t available to play that game because he had shut it down for the season lol.

Carmelo had how many points that night btw? He should have had 50, the refs gave the Knicks a few gift calls that night.

@ Bloop

LMAO! He does remind me of that guy too… He has all the pysical tool he’s got the look, but its his desire that doesn’t show… We’ve seen the games he disappers during big strechs and he never shuts down anyone!

Frankly he’s a 7th man on any good team, if we can package him in a deal I’d roll the dice on it..

Raise your hand or the teacher wont notice you young man.

To be fair with all the flaws in Chandler’s game he’s still more consistent than Gallinari and is probably a better all around player right now. I think they both have several holes in their game and neither has a shortage of things to work on. They’re both young and can get a lot better.

LOL you guys are goin’ in on Will today. Throwing the man under the bus! Sheesh.

What is the “waiting for moderation” thing mean and why does it happen?

@ Shakespeare

Joe Johnson,, I never thaught of his game like that I kind of agree… The thing w/ Joe J is his jumper is ALL DAY, and Chandler doesn’t take control of games.. I hope I’m wrong on Will and he finally shows he’s ready.

You know Joey-V lol. “He’s got the look” lmao. The Tats, the build, the hops etc, but no definitive game whatsoever to accompany those things lol. He’s like a young RJ, but with no swagg to speak of. No boogey in his game at all and he’s way too mechanical in his lateral movements.

He would be a great asset off the bench in like you said, a “7th man type of role”, but if he’s your starting two guard, that squad will most certainly be addressing that position again in the near future.

Will never will be a 2 guard.

“he usually gets a lil out of control with that spin move he does”

You mean the “Wil-Son Ill-Spun”

That move is fire!!!!! lmao

Never failed once at giving the other team back momentum during runs last season.

Joe Johnson is gifted at handling the ball which above anything else is Wilson’s biggest weakness. That ceiling is looking kind of high right now for Will. Joe’s a much more cerebral player than Will will ever be IMO.

LOL at the moderation.

I’ll repeat it and edit the “racy content” lol.

“The thing this summer just wasn’t smart thinking on his part, but it doesn’t make me think less of him or anything.”

Unfortunately the fact that he took a dr-ug test, passed and said that the we-ed wasn’t his was not as big “news” as him being a pot-head lol.

On the court he comes of like someone with savant syndrome. To me he’s simply just an athletic body out there.

Yes he is.

“except that gallo has the POTENTIAL to be great, even if he isnt yet. Wilson will never be anything more than average.”

LOL

I somewhat agree that Gallinari’s ceiling might be higher if he’s able to reach it (that’s not a given) and make the move over to the 4, but to be devil’s advocate Chandler is only one year older than him and if you take into account that Gallinari has been playing professionally since puberty (although you’d hardly know it, probably due to the injury) one could argue that Chandler has just as much room to grow as a player. It all depends on his work ethic and how much time he puts in to improving his game.

His basketball IQ is a weakness, but that could be a product of being young and still needing learn the game. It’s not like he needs to turn into Magic Johnson as far as basketball IQ, just cut down on some mistakes and take care of the basketball. That’s it.

“LOL you guys are goin’ in on Will today. Throwing the man under the bus! Sheesh.”

You mean kinda like how you run Mike D’antoni and David Lee over with your ride…over and over again lol .

But yeah Will’s getting the Biz today for sure.

“His game reminds me of James Worthy’s.”

Minus the lethal footwork and unstoppable face up moves lol

Maybe he runs the floor well like Big Game did, thats about it.

Watch some Steph Curry highlights. Dudes always set properly.

[...] Source [...]

Thats why I’m saying Rudy would fit in better w/ the Team…

To me we all know the Organiztion is going to keep Galo, and were gonna push up on Melo so?

While I’m not sure I agree with Shakespeare, Chandler was also the one guarding Kobe, Lebron, and Wade last year during that week when they all went off on ridiculous games.

Gallo, while slow and getting beat quite a lot, actually does a better job staying with his man because he’s smarter and knows his limitations imo. Gallo will back off a little and try to force guys to take 16 foot fadeaways which is better strategy than Wilson imo, who the next head fake he doesn’t go for will be his first.

Both at least try on defense, and both have a lot of room for improvement there.

lol. Last year=2 years ago. And Chandler was also the one guarding Carmelo in the first game in Denver where he did go for 50. That game was last year.

lol. That’s why I said it that way. Got moderated for whatever reason.

Again, I definitely don’t hold that against him. I didn’t know that he never even tested positive though, that’s interesting.

That almost makes it more weird and poorer error in judgement. Why is Will carrying that just for a friend? Unneccesary risk for him to be taking. But again, I don’t hold it against him at all.

okay ALL YOU GUYS who ridiculed me a few days ago

when i propositioned

Landry vs Will

While will has the Skillz
Landry is just going to be pushing it!

I like Will but he needs to play with some fire

Here comes Landry

LANDRY FEILDS the CLEANER
MR FIXXX

RONNY DUNKIN
RANDOLPH BLOCKIN

Will needs to be renounced if this team wants to have a chance at landing Melo.
Chandler needs to polish a lot of facets of his game. He’s still young and with hard work he can get it done. By no means Will’s gonna be an all star, but if he develops a decent handle, improves his 3 ball and develops bball IQ, he’s probably gonna start at the 2, I just hope he has great competition with Buike so all those players really translate to a decent bench. This applies to Walker as well.

Agreed. He can’t pass that well because his bball smarts isn’t great either. He needs to put a bunch of things together to improbe his overall game. We’re all rooting for him, and if he can work hard, he can become pretty good player and he will be noticed (remember, players are noticed when the team’s winning). The guy realized his 3 ball was awful and started shooting from mid range, which proved to be a successful transition, but still he abused the 3 ball (being a victim of “the system”). These are the main facets that he needs to get control of.

Lee’s gone, so you probably won’t hear anything about him. I personally, I wasn’t a fan either. As far as the coach, his evaluation will be done thoroughly this season, and the comments were done by the way he handled himself, his players, the team throughout the past 2 season, but we’re all in agreement that the real assesment (whether it’s bashing or raving) will begin this season.

Wilson Chandler’s game is nothing like Joe Johnson’s game. Where are you all getting this comparison from?

Wilson does have a low b ball IQ. There are alot of smart people who have low sports IQs.

I imagine that Pot and drinking are probobly an
undercurrent in sports and imagine there are many players who never reached potential because of recreational drugs

From what i undestand, Pot has different effects on different people

but generally makes people lose focus and slower.

when i heard Will got busted I thought “so what”
this is NY

but it did make me think that maybe pot might have something to do with his solid but 3rd tier stats

Still always forget how young he is. But once you are a multi millionaire

no one can light the fire under …but yourself

Im a Will fan

But I AGREE with TommyD when he speculates that Landry might give him a serious run for minutes.

Wil is a much better all around player than Gallo right now. The problem for Knick fans is that neither is consistent enough to be a second option to Amare right now.

Stop with this Fields vs. Chandler nonsense. If Fields is starting for us next year at SG the Knicks are in big trouble.

I don’t think Will is a “much better all around player” than Gallinari.

I think he’s more consistent and he’s better all around defender than Gallo. But he’s not a difference-maker like Gallinari is (at times). The difference is marginal.

Chandler’s a better all around defender because he’s quicker, stronger, more athletic than Gallinari but Gallo’s clearly a smarter defender than Will. I don’t think there’s a HUGE difference between them but I give Will the edge.

“He’s like a young RJ”

but better with no jason kid……these dudes….

he attacks the basket he doesn’t get the calls like someone mention I forgot my bad he has to learn on how to sell the foul for assurance because he NEVER complains like ever maybe once or twice but it look that’s not his style…..at the end of the day this is what happens when you bring in a Max guy like Amare(thanks ALL that was involved) he will bring respectability(officials are human ..the world looks down on us so refs probably do most of the time as well..those days are done though) he will draw fouls and get other teams in the penalty….he will allow guys like ILL WILL to get the benefit of the doubt on questionable calls…main importance of getting a Max guy.

ok so when you guys say he cant pass I never notice him having trouble dumping the ball down to lee or curry or z-bo when he was here(and dudes may frown apon that like it’s no big deal but that’s where others do have trouble it leads to lack of cohesion and a Al jumpshot)…for the low bball comments I know on fast breaks it leads to 2 almost every time when the ball is in his hands and a lot of times it’s a perfectly time dump off because dudes have to respect(not fear so b e-z) his pull up now….

To be fair I think it was in his car. I don’t remember reading where though, but obviously that’s a little different than it being on his person.

jj pounds the ball more than anybody in the league……

I dont know if Im sold on Shannon Brown, yea he can dunk. I might have wanted Josh Howard instead but what else is out there besides Rudy Rudy?

I think the shooting guard market is currently closed.

@HaS Look at it this way… if Wilson Chandler is the one getting dumped on it means our roster has gotten WAY better… last year I think Gallo and Chandler contributed equally but I highly doubt that will be the case this year. There’s nothing Wilson Chandler can do that Anthony Randolph can’t do as well or better (maybe a slight edge to Chandler on mid-range jump shooting) and Randolph has a million times higher upside. That’s not true of Gallo who has a smarts and a stroke Randolph will probably never approach. Unless Chandler spent the summer developing a sick handle or consistent 3 pointer I think this is not going to be his year. He is not really a 2 guard and his defense is only great in comparison to the likes of Al Harrington and David Lee. I do kind of wish he showed like, any emotion on the court. Maybe it’ll help that everyone else on our roster is dripping wet with swag. And hey if he does come to camp with some new skills… that’s awesome.

all hail Mr. Wilson get off mines I’m where you got ya wacc azz screen name from dont stunt like you dont know this thats why u going so hard on my johnson and ILL WILLS I kept it humble and didn’t od on the post or anybody here for that matter who had something critical to say….

next time you come at me side ways like that put ya block up ya hood up I come threw it’s nothing you say to my face calling me names for no reason I SHOW you my reply(MY SOURCE)..it’s nothing..plz dont get it twisted no tuff talk..I’m where you got ya name from so get off mines ….you probably some square matter fact I know you some cornball switching up names with this alter ego on the web sht….your a btch your puzzy and straight azz

LONG LIVE ILL WILL!!!!!!!!!!

TOP 25 UNDER 25 DEAD or ALIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!

ALL HAIL Mr.Wilson!!!!!!(yo stop sweatin me I cant believe you had me get out of pocket for a quick second but I’m back and the offer is still there if you have issues with me and my post that’s where your hate is coming form your supsect)

STILL THE BEST 2 WAY PLAYER ON YOUR SQUAD!!!!!!!!

(no need for me to throw gallo under the bus because he’s not f’n wit my dude point blank period….waste of time)

dudes going in on dude cuz they don’t like Me how are corny are you’z..ahahahhaa…mad cuz I SON’d you’z so you tight and get at My dude..what kinda btch sht is that……ahahaahahahahha….at the end of the day He’s still THE BEST 2 WAY PLAYER ON your SQUAD.hahahaha

LONG LIVE ILL WILL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

yes properly but not pointed towards the rim.

“if Wilson Chandler is the one getting dumped on it means our roster has gotten WAY better…”

hahahahaha…….

You pulled something off bleacher report? C’mon man! What’s next? Youtube comment section? #InternetWastelands

He is the better all around defender, shotblocker, mid-range shooter, post player, rebounder, slasher, finisher and is faster.

Gallo is the better 3pt shooter and makes better decisions with the basketball.

I think Chandler is the better all around player right now. I would keep Gallo over him because I think Gallo has the better potential and is better for our 3pt chucking offense. I also don’t see Chandler getting much better, whereas I hope Gallo continues to get better in leaps and bounds.

lebrish bloop and all stale gallo are the same dudes it’s funny how they come around at the particular times that they do(and out of no where I thought of lebrish being 1 of the dudes who came at me wrong and son apears)….it’s funny how they all come at me side ways when I never directed anything towards them initially but have such hate or I should say dislike towards Me and a even more passionate dislike to my favorite player in spite of Me(hahah pitiful)……if not there are dudes on here with multiple names and if they gotta problem with Me then stop duccin me whether they the same person or not who eva it applies to then get at me…….

Chandler groes every year but you dont see him getting better you see gallo making good decisions with the ball 90 percent of his career is a 3 point shot..gotch…no hate just saying..

are you trying to act tough on a blog? your an idiot

and by the way portland did say there was NOBODY on the Knicks roster that they wanted…NOBODY so for squares to use that as a knock on ILL WILL your playing yourselves as well for wanting that other dude over him….iiiilllllllllllllll

grows’

nah on your block…..

you my groupie and I aint even on the team…hahaha..your a coward coming at me like you did….

yes if i was freakishly athletic and 6’7 id probably be making millions too. I dont really get what you were going for with that one

Sometimes reading this blog is like watching the twilight zone. Are we talking about Chandler?

The man did go from a low 40% fg last year to a 48% fg this year on a 15PPG. that’s a meaningful improvement, especially considering that he shoots a dismal below 30% from 3′s. in other words he shoots over 50% from midrange. no too many wings that play major minutes do that in this league.

If anyone thinks for a minute that a player with a low bball IQ can make that kind of improvement in 1 year then please give me more of those dumb players.

Will’s problem is that he looks dumb, but bball dumb he isn’t.

if there is a player Will should try to emulate on the sun, it’s Grant Hill. he’s got most of the tools already. he just needs to develop a consistent handle and of course better court vision. but that last part is easier said than done.

yeah i can definitely see grant hill i see chandlers ceiling as being hill at best (which is not bad at all)

Coming at you like i did? what are you talking about? I said wilson is overrated and your racist. Both are true. I called you dumb when you said things like “you my groupie and i aint even on the team.” You dont like being called dumb? Learning proper grammar would be step 1. I dont know why your trying to convince everyone on here your ghetto nobody even knows who you are. Your literally starting beef on knicksblog.

and by the way, i liked chandler until i had to read TOP 25 DEAD OR ALIVE every day. Its not to spite you its because of you.

prime example how square dudes are when you put the pressure on them…..”dont know why your trying to convince everyone on here your ghetto nobody even knows who you are” but then turn around and say…..”I said wilson is overrated and your racist. Both are true.” your defining me as being something when nobody knows who I am….straight btch but theres more….”if gallo was the next bernard king than it wouldnt be a better bet to do that at all you sound dumb”@3:44pm….but say “I called you dumb when you said things like “you my groupie and i aint even on the team.” meanwhile I said that @ 9:57pm which shows you are a liar and your azz only a racist to YOUR kind….I had dudes on here that I have gone at it for days even weeks about BASKETBALL come to me defense because you was so out of line….I appreciate that fellaz….”Its not to spite you its because of you.” in regards of Chandler because ILL WILL is my favorite how you look right no….w you made your name because you saw me say ALL HAIL MR.

@ Yo Son,
“these dudes” – Your fascination w/ Willson is well documented already, we get it Your In Love, its okay…

@ SilentJay – thats a lot of stuff to work on, u named like 4 diffrent things.. LOL,

Just face it, Will’s not as good as you thing he is, he has good games but is not a starter level player in the league.. Thats why DW & MD are going w/ Galo they play the same position how obvious is it…?

Very good mid-range game is right… His % is hurt by his 3s and long range shoots close to the arc…

People crack me up, talking about Chandler like he isnt living up to potential… He was the 23rd pick, I think he is doing very well considering most people never even heard of him before draft night… Gallo was top 6, he is supposed to have more upside

All your positive statements on Will are “reaches”. Just stop lol.

@ silentJay

You can get on Mike D’s performance as a coach based on the record as the buck stops with him. Aside from that “how he handled himself” sounds like a vague comment to say the least…And as far as handling players, I don’t see what he did wrong honestly?

He played the best players he could and only had real issues with the knuckleheads and unprofessional players we had. You do know we had a roster not worth a damn right?

Regardless his true assessment begins this year.

“Wilson Chandler’s midrange jumpshot is excellent. Will’s actually a more consistent jumpshooter than Gallo.”

Then you must be a horrible jump shooter in your own right to suggest such things.

Your clearly being confused with the “Jump” part in the term “Jump Shooter”.

You’re just plain wrong.
